78s in MP vs 2 players
Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (10 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls. UTG+1 was a 60% er - I figured it would be a multiway pot. The raiser on the button was solid. Flop: (7.40 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> UTG+1 checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls. Turn: (5.20 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> UTG+1 checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button folds, UTG+1 calls. Good semi-bluff raise? Might dump some busted overcards and it looks like a move with a set? River: (10.20 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 folds. Caught. Final Pot: 11.20 BB Any good? |

Re: 78s in MP vs 2 players
I would fold preflop. I don't play 5/10, but in the 2/4 I need more limpers to call with 78s.

Re: 78s in MP vs 2 players
i don't like the pre-flop limp.
I don't like the turn raise with a bettor and a caller. If it was heads up, it would be better, but it's unlikely that they both fold. Plus, if Button decides to 3-bet w/an overpair, you're just ended up charging yourself to draw. IMO, it's better to draw to your outs cheaply here. |

I like it because there's a pretty good chance your semibluff might not be a semibluff.

Re: 78s in MP vs 2 players
Ok the limp was a bit loose - got to mix it up right? Usually about 3 limpers in front makes this play ok?
I think the button might raise me and the fishy EP limper with a pretty wide range of hands - AK, AQ, AJ, 99, 77, QJ - all of which might fold to a check raise on the turn. Button may have raised with over pairs JJ-AA are possible but unlikely to 3bet this check raise. Most of the hands button might raise with have overcard outs against me or possible straight outs. He could also fold a 99 there afraid of the ten on the board. Having the button lay down something like AJ or QJ would be good here. My crummy pair might stand up. I might be making this play with JJ, ATs, or a better hand. |
